Once FALCON students have finished the summer and fall terms
at Cornell, they have the language skills necessary to benefit from total immersion. Full-year students spend
their spring semester in Beijing, where
they continue to improve their skills and put them to effective use in daily
life.

Spring FALCON is
held at the School of International Studies at Peking University, China's
foremost institution of higher learning. The
students continue to attend small-group classes with FALCON-trained
teachers. In addition, FALCON provides a variety of activities including
field trips and guest lectures. By the end of the spring
semester, FALCONers will not only be proficient in Chinese, but will
also have living experience in one of the world's major
Chinese-speaking cities.
